Using Interim Assessment Results Interim assessment results may help: � Improve teaching and student mastery of the knowledge and skills measured by the assessment of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) (when combined with other information) � Identify specific areas of strength and weakness � Check end-of-unit learning � Make decisions about areas of curricular enhancements � Make decisions around professional development needs 28 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
The Interim Assessment Manner of Administration Setting � The setting is used to identify which interim assessment results are appropriate for comparison across time and students. � The accuracy of this setting is important. � This setting should be set before administering an interim assessment. � Nonstandardized and Standardized/ Benchmark are the two setting options. 29 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
The Interim Assessment Manner of Administration Setting � In the Interim Assessment (IA) Reporting System, results with the icon are from a Standardized/Benchmark administration. � For further details, see the tip sheet or the Interim Assessment User Guide on the CAASPP Portal. 30 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

Technology Update: Operating Systems Desktop Operating Systems � Windows XP is no longer supported. � LEAs must update their Windows operating systems to a current and supported version for 2016–17 interim and summative testing. � Windows XP users will receive an access denied message if the secure browser is launched. 77 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Technology Update: Secure Browser Secure Browser � Students must use the secure browser to take any CAASPP online test, including the interim assessments, summative assessments, science pilot, and the CAAs. � Auto-update of the secure browser is not available for 2016–17. � LEAs must update their secure browser to version 9.x. Note: Test administrator computers may use any standard, supported Web browser. 78 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Technology Update Prior to test administration, LEA CAASPP coordinators with technology coordinators should: R Check for a stable high-speed Internet connection (wired or wireless). R Check that testing devices are working. R Ensure that secure browsers are properly installed a minimum of two weeks prior to testing. R Make sure the necessary hardware is available and working (e.g., headphones, external keyboards, printers). R Configure filters, firewalls, and proxy servers. R Ensure that any auto updates are turned off. Updates during testing have the potential to kick students out of testing. R Ensure you are using the latest mobile secure browser. 79 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop

Tasks to Complete in TOMS for the 2016–17 Administration R Add and manage all users. R Set up test administration window. R Review student data. • Demographic data from the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) R Assign students to non-default tests—the CAAs and Standards-based Tests in Spanish for Reading/Language Arts (STS for RLA). R Assign online test settings to students. R Enter condition codes for Parent/Guardian Exemption (PGE) and Not Tested Medical Emergency (NTE). 83 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
TOMS Student Profile Demographics All demographic data are read- only. 84 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
TOMS Student Profile Demographics � Data are read-only; corrections must be made in CALPADS. � Students’ grade levels must be correct in TOMS before the first date of the testing window. • The grade level is frozen on the day the student logs onto his or her first test. • Any grade level changes require an incident report to be submitted in the Security and Test Administration Incident Reporting System (STAIRS) and a reset appeal. 85 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Importance of CALPADS CALPADS is the sole source for student demographic, enrollment grade, and program participation data. Demographic Data in CALPADS Primary language, Limited English Proficient SSID status, entry/exit dates, U.S. school enrollment data, migrant status Student name, gender, date of birth Ethnicity, race LEA and school names and county- Education program code (Special Education, district-school (CDS) code Section 504 status), primary disability code Parent/guardian education, education Grade program participation 86 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Importance of CALPADS � Grade level is frozen on the day the student logs onto his or her first test. � LEAs cannot update student demographic data in TOMS. � LEAs must keep data in CALPADS up-to-date. • Processing time from CALPADS to TOMS is 24–48 hours. � Student accessibility supports are uploaded and maintained in TOMS, not in CALPADS. 87 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
TOMS Student Profile Demographics � CALPADS Education Program designation for Special Education (IEP) or Section 504 plan • These data are read-only; they must be modified in CALPADS. • Reminder: Embedded and non-embedded accommodations are available only to students who have an Education Program code of “101” for a Section 504 plan or “144” for a Special Education indicator with a valid primary disability type in CALPADS. 88 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
TOMS Student Profile: Test Mode � Test assignments have been simplified for 2016–17. There are only two options for test assignments: • General Assessments • California Alternate Assessments 89 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
TOMS Student Profile: Test Mode � Test assignment • The system will default to the General Assessments assignment. • Students who are eligible for the CAAs must be assigned in TOMS. • Reminder: Students can only be assigned to the CAAs in TOMS with an Education Program code of “144” for Special Education and with a valid primary disability type in CALPADS. � LEAs should verify student test assignments a minimum of 24 hours prior to student testing. 90 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Condition Codes � Only two codes can be uploaded directly to TOMS: • Parent/Guardian Exemption (PGE) • Not Tested Medical Emergency (NTE) � Batch upload of condition codes is available. � The best practice is to enter condition codes prior to testing. � The deadline to enter condition codes is the last day of the selected test administration window. � Only one condition code can be applied per content area per student. 91 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Indicating Parent/Guardian Exemptions � Set the PGE condition code in TOMS prior to testing. � Set in the [ Score Status ] tab of the student’s profile in TOMS. 92 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
Student Profile in TOMS: Test Settings � LEA CAASPP coordinators and CAASPP test site coordinators are authorized to set accessibility supports for students in TOMS using the following methods: • One-by-one through the student profile • Template upload • CAASPP Individual Student Assessment Accessibility Profile (ISAAP) Tool file upload � Test settings must be configured at least 24 hours prior to testing. • Allow up to 24 hours from the time you configure student test settings in TOMS to the time the changes appear in the Test Administrator Interface and Student Testing Site. 93 2016–17 CAASPP Pretest Administration Workshop
